DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
National Institute of Corrections
Solicitation for a Cooperative
Agreement—Evidence Based Decision
Making for Local Criminal Justice
Systems
AGENCY: National Institute of
Corrections, Department of Justice.
ACTION: Solicitation for a Cooperative
Agreement.
SUMMARY: The National Institute of
Corrections (NIC) is soliciting proposals
from organizations, groups or
individuals who would like to enter into
a cooperative agreement with NIC for
the eighteen month development phase
of a new initiative, ‘‘Evidence Based
Decision Making for Local Criminal
Justice Systems’’ (justice systems).
Project Goal: The overall goal of the
initiative is to establish and test
articulated linkages (information tools
and protocols) between local criminal
justice decisions and the application of
human and organizational change
principles (evidence based practices) to
achieve measurable reduction of pretrial
misconduct and post-conviction risk of
re-offending. The unique focus of the
initiative is locally developed strategies
of criminal justice officials (broadly
defined below) that guide practice
within existing sentencing statutes and
rules.
The initiative intends to: (1) Improve
the quality of information that leads to
making individual case decisions in
local systems, and (2) engage these
systems as policy making bodies to
collectively improve the effectiveness
and capacity of the decision processes
related to pretrial release/sentencing
options. The local officials will include
judges, prosecutors, public defenders,
court administrators, police, human
service providers, county executives
and legislators, and jail, probation and
pretrial services agencies’
administrators.
Local criminal justice decisions are
defined broadly to include dispositions
regarding: Pretrial release or detention
and the setting of bail and pretrial
release conditions, pretrial diversion or
post plea diversion ‘‘sentences,’’
charging and plea bargaining,
sentencing of adjudicated offenders
regarding use of community and
custody options, mitigation or reduction
of sentences, and responses to violations
of conditions of pretrial release and
community sentences.
DATES: Applications must be received
by 4 p.m. EST on Friday, April 4, 2008.
